Review John Wick : Chapter 2
I have to say after seeing "John Wick" in the cinema almost 3 years ago I had high expectations on the sequel.
The plot follows not to distant from the first film. John Wick (Keanu Reeves) is contracted to go back to his old ways of being an assassin. Santino (Riccardo Scamarcio) sends him a target of killing his sister. Well, not every thing falls into plan when she has her body guard Cassian (Common) that will play cat and mouse with nonstop shootouts. And John Wick gets a high priced bounty on his head with every assassin trying to hunt him down.
To put it simply, the movie is fascinating, exciting and fantastic. The dialog, the fight choreography, the way the story moves, the characters charisma, all and much more are combined together to deliver this masterpiece.
And this is every action fan's wet-dream, to tell you the truth because you have a character who basically can use anything, whatever he gets his hands on, to kill. So what you see is once again a mix of martial art and gunplay or gun-fu, and on top of that, you also get to see him use a car as weapon, for example. No shortage of surprises in "John Wick: Chapter 2." The fight choreographies are some of the most complex I've seen on the big screen, definitely the most badass since "The Raid," kudos to the stunt coordinators and also to the actors themselves who are committed to making those sequences look and feel like the perfect bloody dance.
With John Wick, Keanu Reeves has found his latest iconic character, in addition to Neo, and Keanu delivers him like it's nobody business, tactical and precise.
Overall, John Wick: Chapter 2 is one hell of a sequel. It has everything a sequel should have and definitely doesn't disappoint. If you loved the first one then you're probably going to love this one. It is a straight up, balls to the wall thrill ride that is more than worth the price of admission.
